SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS FOR ROUTERS

1.HOLD TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOL MAY CONTACT HIDDEN WIRING OR ITS OWN CORD. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

2.TIGHTEN COLLET NUT SECURELY to prevent the bit from slipping.

3.PROVIDE CLEARANCE under workpiece for router bit when through- cutting.

4.CHECK TO SEE THAT THE CORD will not “hang up” during operation.

5.CLEAR THE ROUTER BIT AREA before starting motor.

6.MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP ON TOOL to resist starting torque.

7.KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF BIT WHEN MOTOR IS RUNNING to prevent personal injury.

8.LET THE MOTOR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before putting the tool down.

9.NEVER TOUCH ROUTER BITS AFTER USE. They may be extremely hot.

10.AVOID “CLIMB-CUTTING”.(See section “USING THE TOOL” in this manual). “Climb-cutting” increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible personal injury.
